Swordsinger Leveling Tips

Find a party. Thats it. To effectively level an SwS you HAVE to find a party. You don't deal any serious damage...well, until high levels that is. ^_^ But you do let others become real damage dealers they are supposed to be. The only thing you need is the "magic" 49th level, where you get the famous Song of Hunter which basically gives HUGE addition to the critical rates. For example a Phantom Ranger with full buff (PP/WC) with Song of Hunter will plant critical hits 2/3 of the shots...1/3 the least and I don't want to start talking about dagger classes. The second useful song you get at 55 - Song of Earth - increases p. def. ... drastically. So, basically at level 55 your party gets a serious survivability, which is useful since Gracia, where the melee dmg of the monsters was increased.

Also, at those levels you could join a mage party. Now, what is a mage party? Mostly the widespread option is the training. All the party stays in one place, while the SwS brings mobs for it to kill with mass nukes. Fun and fast exp. You have to have the wind, earth and warding active all the time.

2nd option: Archer party, nothing really strange. Archers just run around the spot and kill mobs. With crits. Lots of crits. Fun and easy exp, though lower then mage option.

3rd option: Melee, just the good old grinding, all the party runs after MA (Main Assist) and kills mobs. Nothing exceptional. Middle-Low exp and still fun. ^_^

4th option: Now this is bad. You can't find a party, but you want those levels. Also you're a legit player, so you don't use any botting program, what do we do? Oh yeah, the plain old solo. Solo for SwS is hell. Low dmg, low armor, low hp. The only thing that saves you are your songs and if you have enough money - OE equipment, but we'll talk about this later. Result: Low and boring exp. :)
